8 - Respiratory Stressors (part 2) Flashcards Preview

S/S include fever (not related to infection, but reaction to injury), diminished/absent breath sounds over collapsed area, the affected chest wall moves little, the opposite chest wall excursion appears excessive, and the tracheal shifts away from the side of collapse.

a.) Atelectasis

b.) Acute bronchitis

c.) Pneumonia

d.) Tuberculosis

Atelectasis

2

Transmitted by aerosolization only. Infectious, but brief exposure will not cause infection.

a.) Atelectasis

b.) Acute bronchitis

c.) Pneumonia

d.) Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis​

3

S/S include fever/malaise, dry cough (most common), and rhonchi.

a.) Atelectasis

b.) Acute bronchitis

c.) Pneumonia

d.) Tuberculosis

Acute bronchitis

Rhonchi are rattling, continuous and low-pitched breath sounds that are often hear to be like snoring. Rhonchi are also called low-pitched wheezes.

4

During tuberculosis, the inhaled organism gets past defense mechanisms and implants in lung tissue. The immune system triggers the formation of "tubercles" around phagocytized bacilli and forms a protective wall.

A side effect of this medication is a loss in visual acuity (can't differentiate between red and green).

a.) Streptomycin

b.) Ethambutol

Ethambutol​

During tuberculosis, the inhaled organism gets past defense mechanisms and implants in lung tissue. The immune system triggers the formation of "tubercles" around phagocytized bacilli and forms a protective wall.

Which type of tubercles cause caseation (necrosis into cheese-like mass)?

a.) Hard Tubercles

b.) Soft Tubercles

Soft Tubercles​

Which type of tubercles indicate that the client is infected, but does not have active disease?

a.) Hard Tubercles

b.) Soft Tubercles

Hard Tubercles

9

During tuberculosis, the inhaled organism gets past defense mechanisms and implants in lung tissue. The immune system triggers the formation of "tubercles" around phagocytized bacilli and forms a protective wall.

Which type of tubercles calcify and keep bacilli in check (bacilli do not multiply)?

a.) Hard Tubercles

b.) Soft Tubercles

Hard Tubercles

10

During tuberculosis, the inhaled organism gets past defense mechanisms and implants in lung tissue. The immune system triggers the formation of "tubercles" around phagocytized bacilli and forms a protective wall.

Which type of tubercles do the bacilli actually multiply in?

a.) Hard Tubercles

b.) Soft Tubercles

Soft Tubercles​

11

The most definitive diagnostic test for this condition is an acid-fast bacilli smear and culture. Chest x-rays and Tuberculin test (PPD) can also detect this condition.

a.) Atelectasis

b.) Acute bronchitis

c.) Pneumonia

d.) Tuberculosis

During tuberculosis, the inhaled organism gets past defense mechanisms and implants in lung tissue. The immune system triggers the formation of "tubercles" around phagocytized bacilli and forms a protective wall.

Which type of tubercles heal to calcified areas or erode to bronchus?

a.) Hard Tubercles

b.) Soft Tubercles

Soft Tubercles​

During tuberculosis, the inhaled organism gets past defense mechanisms and implants in lung tissue. The immune system triggers the formation of "tubercles" around phagocytized bacilli and forms a protective wall.

Which type of tubercles will a person have a positive TB skin test, but is not infectious?
